I just stumbled across something horrifying in my closet …
When I was in grade 6 — which was exactly 10 years ago (’99-’00) I wrote a ‘speech’ on what I then called ‘Web Building’. I’m going to have to ponder whether or not I post scans of it or transcribe it, because after reading it I feel like ENDING IT ALL. I’m glad we weren’t marked on the factual content of this speech, because I would have failed, had the teacher decided to go to “geocity.com”.
“H.T.M.L. is everything! Literally everything! Its the whole website!”
Perhaps more rich than the atrocious written speech (which I probably read, word for word) is the peer feedback forms that are attached to it. One surprising highlight:
Would you like to learn more about this subject? If so, what?
“Yes I would like to learn more about how you advertise your site.” – Kevin
I wonder if he does anything with Marketing now …
There was also an anti-drug poem in the binder containing grade six stuff. This thing will never see the light of day again. “Do you think smoking’s rad? / To think that you’ve got to be mad!”.
i like this
please post all your grade 6 content
I’m afraid it is no longer with me!
